Got "Red Balloon" today and finally took pictures wearing all four of my Playland lipsticks: Sweet Experience Happy-Go-Lucky Red Balloon Toying Around I'm going to say that I'm an NC15 because I really believe I'm that foundation shade. LOL. Anywho I'm SO happy with the lipsticks from this collection. With the exception of "Sweet Experience," which is less glossy and slightly dry compared to the others, they're all creamy, opaque, and feel great on my lips. I felt pretty sure amplified was my favorite finish before, but now I know that it is, for a fact, hands down.  Oh, and I think if I had to pick a favorite from this collection, it would be "Toying Around."
So pretty! TA is the best on you!

Welcome @Jenise! Well I finally tried out Red Balloon today, great color for Spring/Summer. I tried it on my lil girl( sometimes I let her play lol). And it looked better on her skin tone, she biracial. Or maybe its because her lips are very pinky lol. She was fabulous tho! Lol

Thank you ladies! I hope you're able to track it down! It was available on backorder from Nordstrom but it looks like it may be sold out now. I'm hoping they fulfill the backorders because I'll have an extra one coming that I can send to you in case you don't find it
yeah I saw ins nordies it said something about backorder being shipped may 5 and this was a few days ago. I'm waiting to see if mine comes in the mail. Pm me the details to get that lippie

I did a long swipe of SE on the left side as well! SE, Steady Going, Saint German, Snob, Rose lily, Urban Decay Obsessed, Pink Pearl Pop, Viva Glam Gaga, Lime Crime Babette, Flamingo, Hoop Another picture: SE & Steady Going compared. PS. I posted up another pinky lipstick by Maybelline in Ravishing Rose (part of their Dare to go nude collection, Limited Edition) side to side comparison with SE as well!
Drooling as I make a wish list ;)

Have you already tried the mac stores/ counters in your area? I live in a small city in Texas and surprisingly, they still have toying around here. Actually we have every color except playland.

Has anyone done a comparison swatch of toying around and ablaze? I have TA but regret not getting ablaze. I was once told revlon matte balm 210 unapologetic was somewhat similar in color but I never even saw ablaze in real life to compare.

Ablaze is ever so slightly darker and matte.
